Conclusion:
Both of them are good and are very good in terms of features and a lot of things but in my opinion, Kodular is better because it provides better features than Thunkable in less price and that's the only reason why I am declaring Kodular the winner. Because you don't have to spend a penny for using Kodualr if you want to monetize your app they will just take a commission you even don't have to buy anything and that's the best thing I liked about Kodular. But otherwise, in terms of features, Thunkable is the best and I will recommend you use Thunkable if you want to buy an app builder for app development. But most of the users want an app builder which will be free and provide almost every feature for free.
Kodular is the winner!
